[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entitlement is when you are less qualified and feel you have to bring in non-merit characteristics to demand you be admitted. [/quote] "non-merit characteristics". Why do you get to decide what constitutes merit to Harvard? That, right there, is my definition of "entitlement".[/quote] DP Because being a particular race inherently has no merit. [/quote] Then being a relatively mediocre athlete or the kid of an alum has no merit either. [/quote] “Relatively mediocre athlete”? Are you speaking of Division 1 Harvard? Those kids are not “relatively mediocre” even if most of them are not good enough to play basketball at Duke or Kentucky. Giving a preference to legacy is done to support endowment growth, the lifeblood of a college and primary job of a college president. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.[/quote]
